Instead of having to tip the delivery boy, try this simple recipe that will have you making a delicious deep-pan pizza in no time at all!

Creamy pumpkin cheesecake spiced with warm aromatics, crowned with a crunchy brown sugar walnut topping. Classic New England holiday dessert.

A garden vegetable spaghetti sauce loaded with peppers, zucchini, and summer squash, slow-simmered with garlic and a big handful of herbs. A meatless, freezer-friendly marinara for using up the garden.

Almost whole wheat baguettes split the flour 50/50 between bread and whole wheat for a chewy crust and tender crumb. Hand-shaped loaves with classic slashed tops, baked at home.

Apricot brandy pound cake with sour cream, four extracts, and a fragrant boozy crumb. A tall tube-pan cake with a tight golden crust and tender, custardy interior.

This delicious almond raspberry layered cake is fluffy and moist. Raspberry jam and fresh raspberries make the cake so deliciously fruity. It's also much lower fat, which makes you enjoy it without feeling guilty at all.

Silky egg custard cradles roasted tomatoes, sweet corn, and chewy sundried tomatoes in a nutty whole wheat crust. This savory tart balances rich cheddar with bright basil and the concentrated sweetness of oven-roasted summer tomatoes.

A delicious cross between cheesecake and pumpkin pie without cheese or the need to bake. If you love cheesecake but have a stomach that is sensitive to cream cheese - this is the one for you.

So to start off with the first post, I decided to make a meal that screams of comfort food. Whilst it does take a bit of a while to get the meal done, once you take that first bite, heaven couldn’t seem closer if you were Adam trying to touch God’s finger in the “Creation of Adam” fresco created by Michaelangelo. The meal I speak of is Cottage Pie. There is much debate as to what exactly a cottage pie is and how it is different to a Shepherd’s pie...I don’t know. The dominant theory is that Sheperds pie uses lamb mince, whilst a cottage pie uses beef mince. I don’t know about you, but the term “Sheperds Pie” does not get my tastebuds going quite as well, so I prefer the term cottage pie. Besides, comparing the price of ground (mince) beef to ground lamb, a student would pick up the beef mince in a heartbeat without even so much as glancing at the lamb in the meat section. This cottage pie that I made is full of flavour, and just makes you want to cuddle up next to a fire and watch TCM movies all day either by yourself, or with a significant other. Here is the recipe:

Who doesn't like coffee?! Love the aroma roasting flavor from the coffee beans, and you can enjoy it hot or cold. There are so many ways to make delicious coffee, such as this frozen mochaccino. Easy and tastes amazingly refreshing. Instead of starbucks, start to make your own. Not only help you save money, you will also fall in love with it!

Very hearty and flavorful. The goat cheese complements the chili nicely. I took the advice of the previous reviewer and let it simmer for a couple hours after I mixed everything together.

Who doesn't like one or two warm cinnamon rolls with your morning coffee or a cup of afternoon tea. These cranberry cinnamon rolls are made with 100% whole wheat flour and freshly made cranberry filling. Ethese delicious treats without guilt.
